Also, if you send contact information for the publication (either mailing
address or email address, the National Serials Data Program (U.S. ISSN
center) will send a notice to the publisher about the incorrect ISSN and
ask that it be corrected on future issues.

Just as an aside, an OCLC record authenticated by NSDP (042 = nsdp) is the
most authoritative source for U.S. ISSN.  Sometimes the ISSN Portal lags
behind the OCLC record since OCLC is the database used for making
U.S. ISSN assignments.
